While Tufte is in Enschede he is wi lling to share his thoughts and visions on informa tion design with us. Edward Tufte has been an ins piring example for many active in information visu alization, data visualization and geovisualization , and has stimulated cartographers and others to r e-think design. In making his point Tufte is often using ’classic’ graphics and maps such as John Sn ow's cholera outbreak map, and Charles Joseph Mina rd's Carte Figurative (Napoleon’s invasion of Russ ia in 1812). Tufte’s comments on Minard’s map chal lenged Menno-Jan Kraak, the honorary promotor, to write a book on mapping time using Minard’s map as a common thread throughout the book. Tufte’s car eer not only inspired geodata visualizers at ITC, but also impersonates developments among the publi c administration scientists of BMS. This reflects the interests of both Faculties: High Tech (data a nalytics and visualization)and Human Touch (inform ed public decision-making). Attendance is free of charge for the general public, but places are lim ited and registration is required. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\n

\n\nEdward Tufte has been an inspiring example for many active in information visualization, data visualization a nd geovisualization, and has stimulated cartograph ers and others to re-think design. In making his p oint Tufte is often using ’classic’ graphics and m aps such as John Snow's cholera outbreak map, and Charles Joseph Minard's Carte Figurative (Napoleon ’s invasion of Russia in 1812). Tufte’s comments o n Minard’s map challenged Menno-Jan Kraak, the hon orary promotor, to write a book on mapping time us ing Minard’s map as a common thread throughout the book.
